Cinnabar Vineyards & Winery is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year. We offer a wide range of exceptional award-winning wines in two tasting rooms. Visitors can enjoy our "city life" tasting room in downtown Saratoga, overlooking the city, or relax in our "country life" tasting room and winery in Gilroy, surrounded by vineyards and hills, truly a destination. Throughout the year, we offer various fun events such as vineyard educational tours, barrel tastings, grape stomps, and wine blending parties. Ron Mosley began his career in 1983 at the Cinnabar winery in the hills above Saratoga, where he planted the vineyard, helped build the winery and wine caves, and raised his family for over 20 years. Today, Ron and master winemaker Alejandro Aldama, work side by side in the vineyards and winery, crafting outstanding approachable wines. The 40 seasons have taught us that the ’wine is made in the vineyard’, and undergoes a miraculous transformation in the winery. We partner with local growers to provide the best fruit to create exceptional wines for you to enjoy. We look forward to welcoming you to our tasting room soon!

DeRose Vineyards was founded on land rich in winemaking history in the Cienega Valley. In 2022, they opened a second tasting room in San Martin to bring our big, bold, and incredible wines closer to wine lovers in the South Bay Area. The property’s largest cellar in Hollister, four acres in area with a capacity of 37,000 fifty-nine-gallon barrels, was at one time “the world’s largest covered wine cellar” according to the Guinness Book of World Records. The winery is also the “oldest existing winery” in the State of California according to well-known wine historian Charles Sullivan. Every bottle shows depth, intensity and true varietal character. Drinkable upon release or with proper cellaring, they possess the necessary fruit and structure for enjoyment at any level of interest. This winery truly has it all—history, climate, soil and most importantly, a family dedicated to producing wines their ancestors would be proud of.

Step into the world of Cabernet and indulge your senses. Whether you're new to wine or consider yourself an aficionado, we invite you to experience our story. From our humble beginnings to today, we've poured our heart and soul into every bottle we create. EmmaLily Vineyards was named after our two daughters — Emma and Lily. We are a small family run winery located in Morgan Hill, specializing in the art of making memorable Cabernet. Our love for Cabernet has continued to grow as our palates continue to evolve. My wife Laura likes a fruit forward wine yet balanced with earthly flavors. I on the other hand like less fruit on the front and big complex, long-finishing wines. We have tried to make both styles. Our micro fermentations are bottled in 25 to 300 case lots for release through limited distribution and direct to consumers. Our current release is available to order direct from us and on our website. Two thirds of our wine is bottled in regular 750 ml bottles, with the remaining one third in large format bottles. The latter allows our wine to be shared with friends and family on special occasions or just because life is way too short not to enjoy now. Thank you to our family, friends and wine club members for believing in our dream and experiencing each part of the wine making process with us — especially the hard work during harvest, bottling, blending and of course tasting.

Located in Redwood Retreat, Ferwood Cellars is a magical redwood forest in the foothills of the Santa Cruz Mountains. Stemming from our company motto, “Quality is Timeless”, we have one overriding philosophy which permeates our entire operation. Every decision we make from barrel choice to pruning regime to equipment purchasing is driven by the question, “What will make the absolute best wine?” Once that’s answered, the rest takes care of itself. We only make wine from grapes we grow. This may seem like a commonsensical thing to say, but it places Fernwood Cellars in roughly 7% of this industry. The vast majority of wineries purchase fruit from an independent grower, who typically is being paid by the ton, therefore perhaps not completely oriented to what growing system will make the best wine, regardless of tonnage.

Madonna " district of the southern Santa Cruz Mountains range.

If you look back at old pictures of farms throughout California, you will often see an image of a tank house in the background. These old sheds were used for storing equipment, tractors, and housing employees, but most often for storing water to supply the main house on the Ranch. As a result, these buildings were called a tank house. Al Caviglia and Joe Caviglia, co-founders of the Tank House Winery, chose this name and label as a tribute to their families long history in the farming business. The Caviglia family began farming in Santa Clara, California in 1917, and continue to farm to this day. In the year 2007, Al and Joe’s passion for vineyards and winemaking took a foot hold and Tank House Winery was born. The first vintage produced was in 2008 which started with the classic red varietals of Zinfandel, Syrah, and Cabernet Sauvignon. Over the years additional varietals have been added to the production line including Merlot, Petit verdot, Teroldego, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, and several Rose’ varietals.​The Caviglia family believes in creating wines that our customers can depend on for consistency and quality year after year. We strongly believe in delivering on this promise and we look forward to you trying some of our wines.
